the president did propose late last night, an american jobs act, mostly forgotten. we assumed wouldn't pass congress, and it did include sort of demand side spending. i think $25 billion to hire public sector workers. if they had ten minutes to tell explain to every voter how that kind of spending would keep public sector employee work, then i think they might convince some people. but i think it's proven tough to put that in 15 seconds when all the romney campaign needs to do is point at a big, flashing number. either a debt clock or at the unemployment rate. >> so do you put something out there and then use that as a talking point for your 15 seconds? we have a good plan. republicans blocking it in congress. >> that's what president obama's tried to do for a while and it stands at odds with what congress has done. the senate democrats haven't come out with a budget for a long time. they don't want to put something out there that republicans can hit. one thing that's really struck me about the difference between congressional democrats and the white house is that i
